Visit

Our programme of events and growing resource Library champion artistic practice, nurture practitioners, and foster new ideas. In March 2025, we moved to a permanent new home in East London. As we refurbish, our space and Library are temporarily closed, with events continuing off-site.

Events & Exhibitions

All our events and exhibitions are free to attend and are designed to deepen engagement, understanding, and interaction with art education.

Our Reading Group is a regular series of conversations dedicated to exploring practical and experimental ideas, theories, and approaches to teaching and practicing art through selected readings and guided discussions.

Our exhibitions champion exceptional artistic practice. These are often paired with an accompanying events programme of artist walkthroughs, tours, panel discussions, and Q&A’s.

There are currently no events happening at Freelands Foundation. Explore our Resource section, where we gather insights inspired and informed by our in-person activations.
